There are a lot of jokes you can do with someone visiting a doctor. For example, a wrinkled raisin could get plastic surgery to become a tight grape or a gingerbread man could visit a surgeon to get a malignant gumdrop tumor removed. Drawing a doctor is a quick visual way without words to illustrate that something is either wrong with a character or the character is wishing for some kind of transformation. And you can play with the concept of medicine for a joke. For example, paramedics can rush into an ambulance full of puppies to cheer up a sad person. You can also have some dark jokes about medicine and doctors since it involves life and death. For example, I think I did a comic about pulling the plug on some cheese hooked up to machines in a hospital bed that’s covered in mold and too far gone to ever hope for recovery. He’s a lost cause. Which is funny if it happens to cheese. Not so funny if it were to happen to a human.”

Ryan’s webcomic combines cuteness with dark and twisted elements. We asked the artist to elaborate on how he maintains this delicate balance while creating Bunicomics.“Balancing cuteness with dark and twisted elements is tricky. The easiest way is to have cute objects like a cupcake or an ice cream cone have a dark ending, or vice versa. For example, have a dark subject like death or the Grim Reaper do something unusually cute. Generally, to create something funny, there is a twist. So juxtaposing cuteness and darkness is kind of a natural yin and yang,” shared Ryan.

Last year, Ryan mentioned his plans to explore new projects, including the possibility of creating a webcomic or graphic novel with speaking characters. Therefore we asked how the artist anticipates this transition from wordless comics to dialog-driven narratives will impact his creative process and the themes he can explore.“I have been working on a new comic idea with dialogue and talking characters which is so much easier to write than writing wordless comics. The transition from wordless comics to comics with text is not that different. In the end, it’s all storytelling. For years I worked as a journalist writing stories and then switched to photojournalism which has no words. So I’ve bounced between word-heavy mediums to wordless mediums for most of my professional life. In comics, though, I have noticed you really have to make space for the words. I got used to using the full panels for imagery and now I have to figure out how to squeeze in the text in a visually interesting way,” shared Ryan.

And lastly, Ryan added: “Creating comics is a great daily meditation. I think of it like pixel sand art. I make it, then all the pixels blow away on the internet and I work on the next one. It’s very brief and temporal.Thank you for reading Buni. And if you like it, follow me onInstagramand Threads or atbunicomic.com. Or support me onPatreon.”
